spiked has always stood apart. It has published its signature blend of high-quality articles, essays and reviews, and now podcasts and videos, on a daily basis for over 15 years.
But it's also more than a magazine.
Through campaigns, reports, events and books, spiked has made the news as well as analysed it, hitting frontpages and shaping the public conversation. It is this willingness to stand up for what it believes in that has won spiked such a loyal, ever-growing readership, as well as the respect of our media and campaign partners.
